I'm trying to install it, but when I boot from the sd card it says "/lib/init/rw/rootdev contains a file system with errors, check forced" and after this drops into maintenance mode (single user) on the console. My take is that my partition layout on the sd card is not right, what should it be?

Under another Linux box (at least that's what I did, you may be able to do it in maintenance mode), do a "fsck.ext2 /dev/SDCARD" It should boot fine after that.

I'm still confused as of why this would happen?

Okay, the stuff works fine...
seems a little smaller than os2008 for some reasons, is there any way to get the "Fn" key to work?

In X11? Yes. I have an (almost-complete) Xmodmap file that I'll post somewhere. Just load it with
And (most) of the keys will be correctly mapped (with a few modifications).
http://pastebin.com/f43cd81d4
Save that somewhere, then load it when you first boot the tablet.
I have a (mostly-finished, once again) console map as well that I'll get around to posting eventually.
Code:
xmodmap /path/to/Xmodmap

I just tested connecting to a spare router with no protection, and it works fine. I suspect that the non-loading arc4 module may be the issue (it is an encryption module, no?).
Can anybody verify that it indeed does not load and/or that I just have a corrupted module?
Thanks, and sorry for not trying this sooner.

Hey, I'm having some trouble with this.
I can't get it to boot from the sdcard.
I have fanoush's initfs installed, but whenever I select the card with Debian on it, it says "Boot from mmc1 failed, booting from flash ..."
I'm actually trying this with two different sdcards.
sdcard1 is 4GB(sdhc), formatted with ext3, and it is stored in the external port.
sdcard2 is 1GB, formatted with ext2, and it is stored in the internal port.
I originally tried it with the standard bootmenu, but it didn't seem to be set up the way that I had my cards set up, so i changed it to this:
I would really appreciate any help that you can give.

I believe my external card is mmc3, not mmc1.
[out-of-date]
Unrelated, but could somebody post an md5sum of their arc4 module that they can successfully modprobe (preferably on an N810, but an N800 works as well) and what kernel you are running?
[/out-of-date]
Thanks.
EDIT: Yes, it is mmc3.
New question: Can anybody modprobe arc4? It appears to have the correct md5sum, but won't load. Is there anybody with it/WEP working on an IT under Debian beta 3?

Would anyone be willing to post the bootmenu.conf that they use on their n800?
Edit: I may have gotten this wrong, but I was under the impression that the installation goes something like this:
1. Install fanoush's initfs onto Internet Tablet (no modified bootmenu.conf needed)
2. Format sdcard/mmc with ext2 or ext3
3. Stick extracted Debian thing on sdcard/mmc
4. Stick sdcard into Tablet
5. Turn on Tablet
6. Use boot menu to select sdcard/mmc
7. Debian loads itself
8. ?
9. Profit
I get to step 6 and it says that I'm doing it wrong.
Please correct me if I am doing it wrong.
